Welcome to AMS
The mission of the Australasian Mycological Society (AMS) is to promote research and teaching in all areas of fungal biology, to raise the profile of mycology in the Australasian region, to promote the conservation of Australasian fungi and to facilitate networking and collaboration among mycologists.
AMS members include experts in diverse areas including fungal taxonomy and systematics, ecology, evolution, epidemiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology, conservation and biodiversity, physiology, plant pathology, molecular pathogenesis and medical mycology.
We organise seminars, conferences and forays to bring members together to share their research and to network in a relaxed environment.
Our society welcomes new members and contributions to our website via news, events, opportunities, fungal photographs or research. Please get in touch if you have something you'd like to share.

AMS Mycology Education
The AMS Education Subcommittee, established in 2016, is dedicated to promoting teaching and learning in all areas of fungal biology. Our mission is to counter the decline of mycology education in Australasia.
Our focus at the moment is on developing educational resources, building community connections, and showcasing the importance of fungi across sectors.
